Las Vegas Pedestrian Accidents

If you have been injured as a pedestrian by the negligence of a motorist, you have certain legal rights. Our office can help you get compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

You are taught to look both ways when crossing the street, but this act is still dangerous. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2005, 4,881 pedestrians died. 20% were pedestrians crossing the road improperly. Thousands more were seriously injured.
Determining who is negligent in pedestrian cases can be tricky. Many factors must be taken into account: Were you paying attention to traffic when you crossed? Were you jaywalking or crossing in a designated crosswalk? Did the car run a red light? If possible, you should try to get witnesses who can verify your account of the accident.
